• The Navy made it official last week when it released a 32-page “Environmental Impact Statement” pertaining to the potential homeporting of a nuclear aircraft carrier at Naval Station Mayport. According to the report, Mayport will become a homeport to a nuclear carrier and the Navy will complete infrastructure work that includes dredging, wharf improvements and a plant maintenance facility. Harrison Conyers, the City’s chief of military affairs, said the carrier will be here some time in 2012 or 2013.
